 +This past month seemed a lot longer than a month. There had been productivity elsewhere, new professional challenges, and some private heartbreak.
 +
 +No progress on the library though. I hope this is excusable.

 +The reimplementation is online. Please //do// pull the new version. I am a bit embarrassed at the poor quality of the previous attempt, and how long it took me to actually realize.

 +Turns out my ''printf( "%a" )'' support was (is) not only inefficiently implemented, but also bugged in multiple ways. I am in the process of reimplementing the whole thing in a bit more robust way.

 +
 +I decided to shut down the Subversion repository (which had been the master repo until now). I still consider Subversion to be the better option for a small project like PDCLib, but I guess it is time to move on. I basically need the practice with Git, so... yea.

 +
 +Technically it is not that much, but it feels like a huge step forward -- PDCLib now supports printing floating point values using the ''%a'' conversion specifier.
 +
 +Why this weird specifier that is not used by anybody out there? Because it is the one that works without changing the base of the mantissa, i.e. this is the one format that avoids all the issues of the other FP conversions. And //having// the ability to print //some// kind of FP output will help immensely when debugging the other conversions.
